FROM: Kurt Muth, P.E., Engineering Coordinator
DATE: June 24, 2019
SUBJECT:
A resolution to award the Century Lane Storm Sewer Extension project to H. Linden & Sons Sewer and Water, Inc., 722 E. South St., Unit D, Plano, IL 60545 located in Ward 7.
PURPOSE:
To install storm sewer from N. Ohio Street east 460' along Century Lane to the hammerhead dead end of the street.
BACKGROUND:
There is approximately 8' of elevation difference between Trask Street and the east end of Century Lane. A pipe end coming from the east towards Trask Street daylights at the dead end of Century Lane which discharges almost continuous groundwater and nuisance flows. The east end of Century Lane is somewhat flat and the slow moving runoff forms hazardous ice conditions during cold temperatures. The addition of inlets to pick up these flows will prevent the formation of ice and the hazardous conditions. Closures of driveways to the residences will be kept to a minimum during construction.
DISCUSSION:
Four bids were received, opened, and read aloud on June 12, 2019. The bid tabulation can be seen in the attached Exhibit B. The lowest responsible bid in the amount of $142,746.00 was submitted by H. Linden & Sons Sewer and Water, Inc. The storm sewer improvements will be funded with account 280-1852-512-81-23 (B037) which has a 2019 budget amount of $400,000.00. This is the first significant project to be encumbered in this account in 2019. Also included as Exhibits C & D are the advertisement for bid and H. Linden & Sons Sewer and Water, Inc.'s submitted bid.
This project was subject to the Local Preference Ordinance, however no local contractors submitted.
